Some of my Old Toys
Recently while packing away and moving some stuff, I came across a few
old toys from my early childhood. I had been looking for mini-projects
as an excuse to play with some new toys, a scanner and a digital camera,
so I thought I'd put pictures of my old toys and their packaging on my
web site.
These childhood toys weren't necessarily my favourites, and in fact I
can barely remember playing with them. But they show how far we've come
since the early 1970s. The packaging is also a source of amusement, being
that the toys were manufactured in Japan and the instructions on the boxes
are fun to decipher.
Below are links to pictures of the toys. I'm by no means a professional,
or even amateur photographer, so don't bother criticising the lighting
or camera angles. In fact, I stopped taking photos in my early teens 'cause
I sucked badly. In my defence, poor equipment and lack of training didn't
help.
